Please help with this decision. I would like a bio-related name
for tech-research and statups.
This is the name I came up with. Please give your comments
as to value and appeal of the name. Thanks

"UnitedBio.com"

not bad Don.

I keep a close eye on the VC funding daily, and the Bio Industry is taking home all the money lately.. Here's today's report:

On a slower day for fundraising, the biggest round of the day was posted by Intracel Holdings, a biotechnology firm focused on developing a vaccine to prevent the reoccurrence of colon cancer that raised $16 million in an on-going Series B led by MPM Capital with participation from previous individual investors. The company expects to raise an additional $4 million in the next few weeks.

Meanwhile in another Series B, Telelogue, a provider of voice-driven directory assistance services, took home $7.5 million co-led by Palisade Capital and the NJTC Venture Fund, an early-stage venture capital fund affiliated with the New Jersey Technology Council. Previous investor Pequot Capital also participated. The company will use the funds as general operating capital and doesn't anticipate raising another round. Telelogue, which has 30 employees, has raised approximately $12 million to date.

Overall, eight companies reported raising $49 million with QRxPharma, a developmental stage bio-pharmaceutical company, announcing that it has raised $5 million in its Series A round led by Innovation Capital. And ProSight, a provider of IT portfolio management software, said it has raised $5.6 million to close its Series E round at $13.8 million. Giza Venture Capital was the overall round leader.

That's a comment!
I really feel good that someone here is "up on" some of the
subjects that I bring to this forum and is willing to respond to them.

Also have "BioStartups.com"

I think your name unitedbio.com will work, but not the best I've seen in a .com biotech. I think the name should start with Bio.
Just my opinion of course. A few years ago, I sold the name (Biovest.com) for $2,500...I didn't advertise the name, so it basically sold itself. I sold it to an upstart bio-investment firm in NewYork. They must have gone belly-up because now the name is owned by a computer company. I have a couple new Bio-related names I picked up recently myself. I'd be interested in a partnership using these names if you know anyone that is interested. I am not selling them at this point, because in my opinion they are way to valuable. PM me if interested in possibly forming a partnership, and I'll tell you the names.
